3D LASIK – TN’s only

3D LASIK, which we performed the first such procedure in the world, treats all ranges of refractive errors including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism, to reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts.

The most severe surgical flap complications are related to problems with flap creation using a surgical blade (“microkeratome”). Reports in medical literature document increased safety using the bladeless Intralase technique and Dr. Wang feels this method is superior to previous blade technology.

Two lasers are used in our bladeless Intralase LASIK procedure. The Intralase laser is a femtosecond laser (0.000000000000001 second), different from the type used to resurface the eye. It directs its laser beam into a tiny 3 micron (0.003 mm) spot, which is focused to a precise depth within the cornea.

In one minute, using computer precision and an extremely high speed of delivery, approximately 1 million pulses are delivered to the exact location desired by the surgeon. Discrete laser bursts create a million tiny bubbles which result in separation of the cornea and creation of the flap.

The surgeon lifts the flap and uses another type of laser (Visx Star 4) to correct the vision. Dr. Wang performs an excimer laser treatment to resurface the eye, allowing you to see without glasses. After the excimer laser treatment, the flap is placed back into its original position.
